Hi everyone! I was accepted to Montclair State University and offered a graduate assistantship position as a research assistant within the CSD department. I was offered tuition remission for 12 credits for the entire year as well as a yearly stipend of 3500 (which is not enough to live on whatsoever) for 10 hours weekly. As I was reading the handbook, it mentioned that to get an on campus part-time job, the graduate school would have to approve it...which makes me wonder if they would have to approve any part-time job (on Monday I will ask), but I am wondering if it's worth it? I could work part-time throughout the year and most likely make up the money for that they would cover for tuition and wouldn't be as cash strapped, but I am afraid of missing out on an invaluable experience working in research and networking (which isn't to say I can't do so throughout the program...) I was hoping to get some opinions/ to hear about anyone's experience as a GA!

Thank you both for your responses, they were very helpful! I actually reached out to Teachers College admissions's director for speech and here was the response: The waitlist operates on a rolling basis meaning that as the program settles around their enrollment numbers, they will be able to assess how many students they may be able to take from the waitlist. We should have our first idea about this after the deposit deadline passes in Mid April. For all those waiting to hear back about the waitlist, hope this helps!

Hi everyone! I was waitlisted and was wondering how long it could possibly take to be taken off the waitlist, what the process is to get off a waitlist (e.g., Does someone have to reject an acceptance to get off/or reject the waitlist to move up?) If anyone has any insight into the waitlist process, that would be greatly appreciated! I was waitlisted at Teachers College and it is on a rolling basis.

Congratulations! I was also accepted!! Do you know if you are accepting/if there is a facebook group yet??

Hi everyone! I applied to East Coast schools and have only heard back from one (for an interview), does anyone have any idea when we'll be hearing back?

Thank you so much! I am pretty nervous about applying as an out of fielder so I really appreciate any feedback that I can get.

Hi, thanks for replying! I have only speech and hearing science left as a requirement that I will be taking this summer before I apply Jan 2019. My school does not offer a CSD degree or a minor so that is why I choose Linguistics as my minor because they offer some of the prereqs through that minor. I was also wondering if you thought that I was a competitive applicant?

Hi everyone! So, I am currently an undergrad in NJ at Rutgers, who notoriously does not have a CSD major. I am a psych major and have a minor in linguistics. My current GPA is 3.866 and I have a 4.00 GPA in my CSD coursework. My experience so far includes: 1 yr research for a school psychologist; research involved creating a virtual simulation program for early career teachers in urban areas and required me to observe classrooms, 6 hours of shadowing at an early intervention and hospital setting (going to get the full 25 before applying), volunteering at the Adler Aphasia Center & a rehabilitation center and a fieldwork course with children with autism. I have yet to take the GRE but am aiming for about a 152, 152 & a 4. Currently also have 1 LOR but will get rest from 2 more from CSD professors. I wanted to know if you all found me to be competitive and had any advice on how to make myself a better applicant since I am an out of field applicant. Any comments/tips will help!
